Firstly, 2.0 RC3'll be published a weeks after for charter members. Finally, 2.0 RC3'll be published two weeks after for normal members.

Well, it'll go to Charter users first. If it's anything like RC2... I seem to recall it was with the Charter members about a month before it went fully public.

Actually, a lot of bugs have been fixed in the last couple of days.
I personally don't like some of the aesthetic changes like polls, like the change on numbers in Profile > Show Posts, but nothing that I can't just mod out in my own stuff.
Oh, and http://www.smf-friends.org/index.php?topic=9.msg23159#msg23159

There are some minor changes I've noticed so far on this site...
1) Avatars are now linked to profiles.
2) Poll Voting display redone.
3) Background color of [ code ] tags changed.
4) "Posts" column on the memberlist has a new bar.
5) The editor on the "reply" page is now in the middle instead of to the left (this may have been a bug, though).
But, yes, it was MAINLY for security and bug fixes.

They probably will work, but I haven't had a chance to compare templates from RC2 with those from RC3 yet, so I can't say for sure. It also depends on how much you've changed.

That depends on which language you're using. For those of us using English and other LTR (left-to-right) languages, they have moved to the right. However, for those using Arabic and other RTL (right-to-left) languages, they will be left-aligned now.
I personally liked them better when they were centered :P

You may not have to. I don't think the boardindex and other templates have changed that much since RC2.

Thank you. I can now sleep at night.... Still, I am going to cross my fingers with that one... O:)
Egads... After the 1000 versions changes of the past I put all my site changes into a big giant mod. Hopefully, this pays off without having to suffer from major

Yes that was forgot in the last language update to the site. I got them this time. It does take some time to upload the languages is the main reason I forgot them. Our language editor has 76 languages in it currently :P I think you can imagine that it does take me some time to upload them all.. I will someday get around to building a script to make use of the language download features in 2.0 to help speed up this process.

The structure is quite good and there aren't major changes like RC2 had I suppose.
However the Mantis has some slow queries listed:
http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=4027 (banning members)
http://dev.simplemachines.org/mantis/view.php?id=3732 (SSI recent poll)
Why would you want to try a RC2 database on RC3 though? It will try to update your structure for you anyways when you patch the files. There's no good reason to skip that and run a potentially broken database.

bassically because when it comes out i will run a test site before upgradingthe live site and i have an existing test db not being used at the moment so wanted to do a clean install with this db.
i will not be upgrading the rc2 test site as i will still need to test rc2 features while the live site is still running rc2
